Wrestler's Bio:
Raijin Hunter is the son of two former professional wrestlers in Trynyty Wang and her husband Zell Hunter who met during their time in Global Xtreme Wrestling. A member of the infamous Hunter wrestling family, Rai slowly started training to become a professional wrestler-taking after both parents in terms of style and work ethic.
Taking the nickname of the "Dark Phoenix" (a reference to his mother's time in the "Twin Phoenix" tag team), Raijin was trained by family friend Devon Slayton as one of his first students at which time he adopted for a brief while the name "Katsumi Daido" before an injury put him on the shelf long enough that he had to rethink everything about him in the sport...which in turn lead him right into the arms of both Wil Pierce & The Mechanical Animals.

Entrance Theme: "End of Heartache" (w/Boondock Saints intro) by Killswitch Engage
Entrance Description:
(Note, if you do not fill out your entrance with a theme or description, you will not be booked & your character will not be hired until you do so.)
----------------------------------------------
Wrestling Style: The bases of Rai's wrestling style is very much Japanese Strong Style, but his time over the course of the last year training & working with Wil Pierce has allowed Rai to embrace his creative nature which has allowed him to embrace some of the more dangerous side to pro-wrestling, a side that Rai has become rather adapt at using.
Strengths:
1. Naturally gifted: Rai is a naturally gifted wrestler as he is physically gifted. Rai possesses a cut and defined body which most people assumed is just for looks up till the point where he outpowers his opponents!
2. Deceptively strong: While technically a junior heavyweight, Rai is actually the team's powerhouse as he's been known to hoist up people more than he apparently should (kind of like an early 90s Scott Steiner)
Weaknesses:
1. "Teacher like Student, Student like Teacher": Rai has been taking notes from his tag team partner in Wil Pierce and as such has started to act like him from time to time, including adopting some of Wil's own moves such as the "Demon Souls Lariat" which Rai calls his the "Horcrux Lariat" for example.
2. Temple of Frustration: Rai is still in his rookie phase and as such, he does tend to get frustrated at times and much like his (in)famous father and even more *INFAMOUS* uncle-he's utterly, unabashedly not giving-a-shitable about showing it.
Finishing Move:
1. The "Tornado Spike" (Go 2 Sleep followed by a soccer kick to the opponent's chest)
2. The "Side Effect" (Gotch-style piledriver)-adopted from Zell Hunter
3. The "Phantom Pain" (Jim Breaks Armbar/Omoplata stepover scissored armbar)
4. The "End of Heartache" (Vertical suplex lifted and dropped into a double knee backbreaker)
UF. 'Final Blaze' (Avalanche Canadian Destroyer)
Signature Moves:
1. The "Horcrux"/"Horcrux Lariat" (Lariat, sometimes transitioned into a wrist-lock or sliding)
2. The "Not Hollywood Kick" (Roundhouse, sometimes while performing a jumping corkscrew)
3. The "Phoenix Crash" (Powerbomb dropped into a double knee backbreaker)-innovated
4. "Dead Level" (Hangman DDT from the middle rope)
5. "Devil's Dance" (Slap and knee strikes combo)

Additional Information:
--Piero (PB: Toru Yano): Not really a "manager" per say than the Mechanical Animals' "Consigliere" (Wil's exact words) despite most people writing Piero off as a "fat piece of nothing" despite him being a former SSW Freebirds Tag Team and Grand Japan Openweight champion. But ever since then, Piero and Wil have come to an understanding with Piero becoming the first official member of the Mechanical Animals.
--Trafalgar Law (PB: Shooter Umino): What Law's official status within the MA and how he came to join them is a mystery, but what isn't is the fact he works more as a "Runner" for the group, sometimes filling in for either Wil or Rai when they can't be in a match or serving as the unofficial third member of the team. But most times he can be found studying and watching the main members of the group and helping out at ringside with a brutal "Detroit Smash" (Buckshot Lariat) from outta nowhere.
